Forecasts

Vain Gloria (4/9), Pink Sorrel (7/2), Kayhana (7/1), Michigan State (10/1), Letiza (10/1), Soi Dao (18/1), Ayrton (66/1), Super Surprise (200/1), My Boy Teddy (200/1)

VAIN GLORIA looked a useful prospect when scoring comfortably on her recent Killarney debut and can make it 2-2, perhaps at the main expense of fellow 3-y-o filly Pink Sorrel who got off the mark in maiden company at the Curragh on Irish Derby weekend. Dermot Weld's Kayhana may prove best of the rest.
